Thanks for the link to Dijkstra did[0]. I was about to say that I had done several years as 1 origin inclined, and several as zero + that solutions using zero "seemed" to be more elegant and less fragile, but did[0] (even if APL opposed) said it better so I wont. These days I like not having a choice in Q & J... I'd hate having that nagging question of "which origin" to come back while considering larger ideas.
As strange as it sounds, no choice (with a, "it's less error prone + more elegant" hunch esp. when working with others), gives me a disproportionate amount of clarity and confidence. btw: I don't think I qualify as a domain expert... not just yet at least. -Steven ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
